There ought to be a lot more food posts now that training is over and I'm inclined to spend more time in the kitchen. Tonight I let my daughter pick anything she wanted from Brendan Brazier's "Thrive Energy" cookbook and she wanted the vegan Reuben sandwich. It was outstanding. I can't recall ever actually liking reuben sandwiches which are traditionally done with corned beef and mozzarella cheese. This one was made with sourdough bread we bought from a local bakery fresh today that uses organic heritage seed flour. We grilled it in coconut oil with some vegan mozzarella cheese in one pan while in the other we grilled up the red onion and tempeh. Once the bread was toasted we added some "Just Mayo" to it, baby spinach, sliced avocado, sauerkraut, then the grilled onion and tempeh. Put pickles on the side and boom, vegan reuben.

To be honest it's fried so not the healthiest of options. It also has the fake cheese and mayo so again, not the best (though tasty) but Brendan does give options for making cashew cheese and homemade spread if you have more time. If you're vegan and miss the reuben this is your ticket.
